Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a technique for reduction of latency in network traffic data transmissions. The system parses an online document to determine a messaging identifier used to communicate over an asynchronous network-based communication channel with a content provider device. The system assembles a first instance of the online content item with the messaging identifier. An intermediary appliance located on the asynchronous network-based communication channel in between the first computing device and the content provider device intercepts data packets including the electronic message The system determines a quality of the asynchronous network-based communication channel. The system blocks insertion of the messaging identifier in a second instance of the online content item prior to transmission of the second instance of the online content item to a second computing device to reduce latency by preventing additional messages from being sent to the messaging identifier.
Abstract:
Improving automated package delivery to mobile delivery receptacles to allow accurate and reliable package deliveries comprises a delivery receptacle for an automated package delivery via an unmanned aerial delivery device. The delivery receptacle is notified of a pending delivery and travels to a receiving location. The delivery receptacle emits infrared (“IR”) beacons from one or more IR beacon transmitters. An aerial delivery device detects the IR beacon and uses the beacons to navigate to the delivery receptacle. The delivery receptacle receives IR beacon responses from the aerial delivery device and continually or periodically directs the IR beacons in the direction of the aerial delivery device. The aerial delivery device deposits the package in the delivery receptacle. After receiving the package, the delivery receptacle transports the package to a secure location, such as into a garage.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing an online content item campaign with selective call functionality can include a processor determining a rendering frequency of instances of a third-party content item for rendering with a call icon, based on a resource of the third-party content provider. The processor can provide a first instance of the content item for rendering with the call icon in accordance with the rendering frequency of instances. A call bridge device can receive a call from the client computing device upon actuation of the call icon, direct the call to a phone number of the third-party content provider, and determine a parameter of the call. The processor can adjust the rendering frequency of instances based on the parameter of the call and provide instances of the content item for display by client computing devices with the call icon in accordance with the adjusted rendering frequency of instances.
